It is a 4 panel comic strip that would fit in normal newspapers, and it's completely hilarious. (Seriously, it was put out by ADV manga a few years back, go to your local comic store and check it out.) It's even generally pretty innocent, although there is a male teacher with a high school girl fetish, and boob size comes up a couple times. The main problem is, you just can't get around the fact that the comic is happening in Japan. Attempts to Americanize it would just result in muddling it.

I think this is definitly a problem with just standard American thinking, where even though they don't want to admit it, things are broken into race or cultural divides SO Much.

In Japan this can mean any comic book; although western comics are sometimes called komikkusu (コミックス) a japanization of the word comics. Also the word anime (アニメ) is a shortened form of the word animeshon (アニメショーン) and was borrowed from Japanese by English speakers in much the same way as the word manga was. Of course the Japanese borrowed animation first but yeah... Now that being said, I think forcing a definition on a word is pointless. Here manga or anime can mean whatever, and that definition can certainly be different from the original Japanese meaning. My point being that when you're talking about comics or cartoons here in the US it's is handy to have a word that differentiates the "native" style from that influenced by Japan. Is spaghetti not spaghetti if it wasn't made in Italy?

So would an extra line to the jumble, now that I think about it…" ------------------------------------- whoa...brain exploded with this thought.....JUMBLE PORN. Holy crap I'm a marketing genius it'll save these newspapers from the slow financial death that is ever imminent like a baseball bat to the skull!!! side note: If you want to see some very different manga, go read Bleach or Monster, two of my most favorite series in the whole world. Monster in particular is a very gripping drama/horror manga/anime(both version are exceptionally well done) with very deep story and character interactions. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. If they did stuff like that in newspapers(it'd most definitely have to be more than 3 panels) shonen jump would have to buy the papers out and run them into the ground. “And as far as capturing a new demographic by putting it in the paper, well… porn would do the same thing.

Unless they’re gonna start putting that in the comics, count me out. If they are, well I’m game for six weeks of gay sex!" Okay, now I would totally read "Family Circus" if this were the case! “They do it for the hot boy/boy or girl/girl action! Unless they’re gonna start putting that in the comics, count me out.

Well it doesn't take much imagination to figure out how we could get, in the west, for manga to mean japanese style comic, and anime japanese style cartoon. That would be like you telling me I had to call my dollar, a Canadian dollar and what I call an American dollar, a dollar, and Im just butchering the meaning. Every two weeks I get a call from a newspaper company, " Awesome newspaper deals!" "umm, I get all my news online, and its free" "but you can take this anywhere!" "I have a laptop and books in the washroom, I don't need it" "Oh, ok have a nice day" "I will." Honstly the only phone calls I get are from people trying to sell me crap, I think im going to disconnect my phone and go msn only.
